#Treatment Schedule

Q How often do I need to visit a Korean medicine clinic for polyarthritis treatment?

A During the acute inflammatory phase, intensive treatment 2 to 3 times a week is required. Once symptoms stabilize, the frequency is reduced to once a week, and subsequently to maintenance treatment once every two weeks or once a month. Since the schedule varies depending on the individual's condition, the number of joints, and the degree of inflammation, it is recommended to receive a detailed plan during the initial consultation.

Detailed Answer

Korean medicine treatment for polyarthritis typically proceeds in three stages: an initial intensive phase (2 to 3 times a week) lasting 4 to 8 weeks → a stabilization phase (once a week for 4 to 8 weeks) → a maintenance phase (every other week to once a month). The intensive phase may be prolonged if there are many joints or if the rheumatoid factor is positive. If you are undergoing concurrent treatment with a Western rheumatology clinic, coordinating the schedules of the two treatments is effective. Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective Since Bi-jeung is a condition where pathogenic factors have deeply invaded, it is crucial to open up the flow of meridians through intensive treatment in the early stages. At Dongjedang, we design a personalized treatment schedule by comprehensively evaluating joint distribution patterns and organ conditions during the initial consultation. We flexibly adjust the frequency of treatments according to changes in symptoms, so please feel free to consult with us.
